Add Your MessageTo Taylor’s family, friends and the Foo, After following this band, my favorite band, for over two decades…you all feel very personal to me. Thank you. You have impacted my life in such a positive way. I’m sending every ounce of love I have to all of you. 🖤❤️
Your energy and enthusiasm will be missed and your massive smile and warmth towards others. Rest in peace x
Dear Taylor, it’s kinda crazy how we have never met but you have been such a huge and important part of my life for more than 20 years. I just can’t believe you have gone. I hope you knew how truly loved, cherished and respected you are. I will remember and miss you forever xxx
Taylor,
You are the ONLY reason I became an "I ❤️ the drummer" gal. I fell in love with you and your talent from the very beginning. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to take my daughter to see FF perform over the past few years. We are both heartbroken. RIP legend.
a few years ago, just after my 11th birthday we went to see FF in london. it was like nothing i'd ever experienced before. i didn't know it at the time, but that night changed my life. i was amazed by taylor's drumming. love you taylor hawkins, rip
Still can't find the words, have followed you with the foos since '97. Have been playing in bands ever since with your inspiration. The whole world has lost a shining star xxxxx
Taylor, thank you for everything your music did for me. You were one of the best drummers who ever lived- if not for technique then for the passion and soul you put in. Your love for your band and fans and music is palpable in everything you did. Love to you and your family, sir.
This is terrible news, so shocking and devastating ! I send all my dearest and deepest thoughts to Taylor's family and friends. Thank you so much Taylor, you will be missed and your f*cking drums too ! Your smile will shine forever.
Has been a terrible weekend, I never thougt that would be the last time to visit our country, I am still in shock, your absence is and will forever be an uncomfortable silence, a devastating loss, God receive you with open arms, we see you .. a kiss and hug to heaven. 😔
I'm just another fan in a long, long line of fans wishing you all healing and peace. I wish thoughts & prayers did more to help, but that's all I have to offer. Take care of yourselves and hold your friends/family tight.
Much love to every single member of the Foos family.
Taken too soon. But brought the world so much pleasure in the time he was here
Gone too soon. You will be greatly missed. Sending love to your family and band mates 💔💔💔 rest in peace, Taylor 🕊
So much love for Taylor. Very sad to hear about this devastating loss. Not only was he a great musician, but a great person. I am forever grateful for the impact his music has had on me. Sending all my love to those impacted by this loss.
T was King of looking like he lived in the 70’s and the epitome of comfort attire for daytime & gigs, looking comfortable to never want to step out of the 80’s & 90’s. There will never be another Hawkins, or a duo like Taylor & Dave. FF’s literally saved my life. ❤️to you all
Better to burn out then to fade away
It hurts since you're gone. I think no one could ever expect this, I admired you and Dave since I was 14 and discovered your music. Fligh high, You Hawkins. Everyone in the world loves you.
RIP Taylor. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories. You touched so many people the world over and you will be greatly missed.
RIP dude, the foos have saved my life on more than 1 occasion.
I’m so sorry for your family and band. The world will miss you.
RIP 🤘❤🤘
I haven't slept much at all in 3 days. My heart breaks for this amazing human's wife, kids, & the band. I know this death is especially hard on Dave as they had a beautiful bromance. I'm shattered, and send my love to his friends/fam. So grateful for our chance meeting in 2017.
Dear Taylor,
It is still hard to believe that you are not longer with us. I was hoping to see you again with so much joy and strength, and playing the songs that we love and mostly feel. I hope your legacy continues for so many years. May your drums keep in our hearts for ever!
The world is a little less brighter. But your legend will live on. My thoughts to your family.
Taylor's energetic presence and infectious smile on stage made for an unforgettable experience at any Foo Fighters show. My heart goes out to his Family, Band mates and anyone that was close with him. R.I.P. Taylor. Thank you for the memories.
Thank you for the good vibes, your energy and for the memories. R.I.P.
More than anything, Thank you so much. You made my childhood better, you made adulthood better, you made each day that little bit better - You made my life better.
I’ll always treasure that I got to see your gift live. There goes my hero ❤️
Taylor, lamentamos tu pronta partida. Gracias por estos 25 años de brindarnos tu talento y carisma que ya no tendremos. Sin dudas te extrañaremos y esperamos desde arriba puedas darles las fuerzas necesarias a los tuyos y a la banda para continuar. Descansa en paz 🤍
Will miss you greatly, i never got to meet you, but watching hours and hours of your interviews, live videos, listening to your music, you felt as one of my closest friends, couldn't have picked a better idol,
Love you forever
I finished reading Dave’s The Storyteller just a month ago and it was more cemented in my brain just how important Taylor was to Dave, the Foo’s and to his followers. A truly force of nature that we will miss dearly.Rest in Peace Taylor, one day I will be cheering you once again.
El mejor baterista de foo figthers, lamento su muerte, con tristeza lo despido, 🕯️ buen camino y seguír rockeando... Buen camino 🌷
The loss of Taylor is immeasurable. Being a Foo Fighter fan and a fan of Alanis Morissette as well, Taylor has been a part of my life musically over the last 27 years. We will never see another like him. Sending much love & peace to his family, his bandmates and especially Dave
Rest In Peace Taylor Hawkins, you were my inspiration to play the drums. I haven't played drums in a while now, but I think the first song I'll be playing when I start again is Cold Day In The Sun. God bless you for being such an amazing human and such an outstanding drummer.
When I heard the news, my heart shattered not only for Taylor but for his family, friends, and bandmates, too. All of the good he did will never be forgotten, and he'll forever be immortalized in his music. I think that's a beautiful thing.
Taylor deserved the world, rest easy.
We will miss tou, Taylor. Your choices doesn't matter to nobody. Your music Will live forever. Sorry for my English. Rest in peace.
My heart breaks for your family....😥
R.I.P Taylor Hawkins ❤
Gone way too soon.
Can hardly believe it!!..Such a great tradgedy and loss, that smile and talent will never be replaced... love and hugs to all who loved him,especially his family and band family, will never be forgotten and always missed...💔

Doesn't seem real you have passed away. You were an absolute Legend & you touched so many lives with your talent & everything about you. Gone, but you'll never be forgotten RIP Taylor Hawkins you beautiful talented soul xx
I will miss your smile and happiness you brought to me. During my darkness you were my light. Hugs to the family and friends ❤.
Shook the world when the news came out. Heart hurts. Taylor gave so much to music and by transitive property, to millions, of whom he didn’t even know. His legacy is cemented in the annals of Rock history and will be a giant whose shoulders many artist’s will stand upon
Gutted 💔
I think I can speak for tens of thousands of people when I say I just feel numb. I’m not often affected by the passing of people I don’t know but I am truly saddened.
A phenomenal drummer and human. My heart goes out to his Taylor’s wife, kids, family, bandmates and friends
Taylor: you made the best night of my at the recent Geelong show. our seats were so far to the side of the stage you couldn’t even see the drum kit. FUCK THAT. so we jumped the fence and spent the night drenched with rain in the pit. all to see u. rip 💔
Lots of love to the family, friends and band members. I was fortunate to see Taylor perform 8 times. I’m going to cherish the memories. ❤️
t, i love you so much. seeing you drum inspired me to start playing, and drumming saved my life. so i guess i owe my life to you. i’ve been so lost these past few days without you, but i know i have to keep going for you. i love you so much. i hope you’re happy and safe
He will be so missed! I saw Foos at Lollapalooza Argentina. Taylor was brilliant as always! Foo Fighters are the soundtrack of my life. I grew up listening to their music. Is so so sad! Argentina love Taylor and FF. They felt the warm in that last show! RIP Ty.
You were one of the first drummers to ignite my soul. I'll never forget getting an electric drumset for Christmas and thinking, "I'll be the next Taylor!" Your vibes were infectious, the world truly lost a great, but your memory will certainly last forever.
What you gave to all of us is immeasurable…in talent, spirit, joy…all of it. A gift in every sense. Thank you 🖤
So much love to the Hawkins family, band, and friends.
You’ll be so sorely missed.🤘
Taylor,
I am gutted and heartbroken to hear the news that you have this life on earth. Thank you for sharing your music with us. Your infectious smile, your talent and energy will be greatly missed. I will keep you, your family and Foo Fighter family in my thoughts♥️ Suzie
The FF’s.was the best show I’ve ever been to. You will be missed and the FF will never be the same! Fly High TH! RIP
You were and are a beautiful soul and we miss you.
Without your great work, my favorito song, Walk, don' t be the same, thanks Taylor, Thanks for all
No words or feelings can ever express the value and importance you and the musc you created means.For being one of the six reasons to love music, to being the reason to picking up drums sticks.Thank you doesn't even come close to everything you gave everyone.We'll miss you Taylor
Nunca te voy a olvidar, Taylor. Tu música, tu arte, tu hermosa sonrisa, tu euforia incontrolable e inigualable, me va a guiar por el resto de mi vida y a lo largo de mi carrera musical. Gracias por regalarme la mejor noche de mi vida acá, el 20/3/22, tu último show.
You were our escape when life was unfair and cruel. Our anthem when we needed to fight through. Now we are here for you.🖤💔 Sending love and strength to all our Foo Family. Taylor will forever shine like the shooting star he was (photo from our last show 9/17/21)
taylor, you were part of some of my most fond and beloved memories. some of the happier days of my life had you and the band in it. i always believed that people inspire people, and you helped prove it right. i just really hope you are at peace right now. thank you. live forever
Fly high Taylor!
Strength to the band, his family and a big hug to all the Foo Fighters fans around the world. It is a huge and very painful loss. We will miss you but your music and your smile will always live in our hearts ❤
Taylor, thank you for sharing your talent, energy and brilliance with us. You will be so missed. I loved the section of the show where you would come out and sing. Your smile lit up the stage. Sending love to your family and friends. You will live on in our hearts
Words cannot bring justice and it’s hard to wrap ones head around the loss. Taylor touched many souls even though i didn’t personally know him but through his music I felt I did. A piece of your soul goes dim and my heart goes out to his family friends and band mates. 💔😘🙏🏻
Always felt close to Taylor and Dave, playing and studying what and how they do what they do on drums and beyond, mentors to I can only guess hundreds of thousands .Thank you.always tried to play with a smile as big as Taylor. started playing at 12.im 30 now,never forgetting you.
Mis condolencias más sinceras para la familia de Taylor Hawkins 🙏🏼🙌, sus amigos y gente que le rodea, una gran perdida, para Dave y a todos en la banda un abrazo fuerte!! Taylor por siempre 🙏🏼🤘☀️
Truly heart breaking, dear Taylor. You gave us so much good memories with your music. I feel so blessed for seeing you perform four times in my life. Now you get to be happy and rock in another world. Take care and send a lot of light to Dave and the other guys in your band.
Love you Taylor!
My heart is so deeply saddened, for you the “Foo Fighters” family, Taylor’s family, friends, followers, fans, even to those who are just somebody like me, a 54 year old mother, grandmother, wife and part time receptionist from Seattle Wa for the loss of Taylor. RIP friend
We loved watching you perform! You are forever a rock star and will be deeply missed, Taylor! Our thoughts are with your family, friends, all those you held close and the FF.
Con una pena enorme, despedimos al mejor.
Gracias por tanto, por el talento y la alegría. Tu sonrisa permanecerá en nosotros. Tuvimos la suerte de verte poco antes de partir. Desde la distancia te despedimos como a un grande! 😭💔
Aún no caigo en cuenta de tu partida, te voy a extrañar mucho. Gracias por tu espiritu, por tu arte y por todo eso que me hiciste sentir sin saberlo. Tylor, My Hero!!! ♥️
In the end, there is only love. Sending love and prayers for Taylor's family and his Foo family.
Taylor , you will be forever alive in out hearts.
My thoughts are with your family , the Band and your countless fans around the world
I have listened to Foo Fighters ever since I was 5, first song I heard was Breakout. Hearing those heavy hitting drums in that song was amazing. Ever since I've been a fan. If this is the end of Foo Fighters, so be it. "There goes my hero, watch him as he goes" - Dave Grohl
Your infectious smile and unabashed bashing on drums made my heart happy. Your contribution to music history and my playlist are ongoing, endless and invaluable. My heart goes out to those who loved you. May the joy be found in fond memories and the legacy you’ve left behind.
There isn't enough time in the world to describe the immense joy that Taylor and the Foo Fighters have brought to my life. The world will never forget the music he brought to life, and he will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Taylor.
The Foo Fighters have played an incredibly integral part in my life. "There Is Nothing Left To Lose" is my comfort album, and I find myself coming back to it time and time again. Knowing that Taylor has played his last beat is nothing short of a tragedy. Peace and love to all
I never ment Taylor, but I have always loved him and the band. Taylor was an amazing person, and he was an amazing drummer, everyone will miss you, you had a great contribution to the band, and on everybody. You inspired so many people, me included, so I want to thankyou. Thankyo
thank you, Taylor Hawkins. for giving me something to resonate with, and for inspiring me endlessly to put everything I have through my hands and into my drums.
Goodnight, and see you soon.
Taylor Hawkins forever. 🖤
Taylor you were an amazing soul that many of us connected with..you me souls will love forever..hope you and Chris (Cornell) are up there making music together! Know you made a huge impact on us. My thoughts and prayers to your family, band mates and friends.
RIP Taylor. I’ll never forget seeing you play live at CalJam. You had so much energy and sang so beautifully in your Freddie Mercury voice. Gone but will never be forgotten 🤘
He crecido siempre escuchando el mejor rock de todos los p#tos tiempos, sin duda, la mejor banda de todos los tiempos Foo Fighters! Ahora te haz convertido en toda una leyenda Taylor Hawkins, infinitas gracias por ser parte de mi vida, descansa en el poder del rock por siempre!
This isn't fair. Love to your friends and family.
Dear Foos/Hawkins fams, He was such a bright light, so full of energy and fun. Such a joy to watch onstage. I am shellshocked, completely devastated, heartbroken. Can't begin to imagine how his nearest are fairing, especially his 'Siamese twin' Dave. ❤ you Taylor, ❤ you Foo Figh
My prayers go out to Taylor’s wife, family and each of the band members. I was blessed to see Taylor up close at the Beach Life Festival. He had such great energy & a killer smile. So incredibly sad.
Taylor was easily one the best drummers I’ve ever seen. He put so much energy and passion, every time I seen him play. I really enjoy NHC as well, being a fan of Jane’s Addiction too. The Foos are my favorite band and Taylor was just one of the reasons why. God Bless!
Dearest Taylor - your light shined so brightly that the world seems duller now. Your smile, your laugh, your charm will be missed so much. Thank you helping me through the ups and downs of life.
I didn’t realize how much hurt this would leave, until going through it. prayers are with his wife & kids, his brothers Dave, Pat, Chris, Nate, Rami. Growing up with these guys as your favorite band, Feels like we’ve lost a member of the fam. Forever grateful for you Taylor! 🥁
Taylor
you were always my favourite foo, you have been taken from us all far too soon
I will miss you xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you! May the love be with you. I miss you my hero.
My mother showed me your music, talent and passion for the art through foo fighters. The world felt like it lost a bit of its color the day you left us. You will always live on in my heart and every fans. May you rest easy…
Taylor taught me that you can be a professional beast when you play music. He didn’t hola back. He gave it all and he was fantastic for everyone. He is the definition of an inspiring artist. He remains always with us whenever we play our hearts out. Thank you forever.
I hope you find a spot where you can shine so bright we can see you from here every day.
Thanks for the music
I’ll forever remember you.
Absolute legend. So bummed I didn’t get a chance to see you live with the Foos. You’ve made a huge impact inside and outside of the music world. Your legacy will continue on Taylor. We can feel your spirit around us still. Bob voyage.
Wow … This is hard.
I only wanted to say that we are NEVER gonna forget Taylor and his amazing talent.
Thank you FOO FIGHTERS for giving us, your fans, something to believe in.
ROCK IN PEACE TAYLOR ❤️🔥
I send to you light and love for this moment.
As a drummer growing up in the early 2000’s Taylor was one of the drummers I looked up to most over the years he will be missed. My favorite foo memory will always be RFK stadium in 2015 for the 20th Anniversary and my first foo show!!! Thank you Taylor!!!
Just so damn sad. All the healing and happy vibes to those who loved him 💔💔
Taylor 我们会永远怀念你。🕯️
